Studies have found that foods rich in zinc help inhibit the secretion of cortisol in our body. This mineral, which is also important for bone and immune health, is found abundantly in pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, lentils, garbanzo beans, cashews, quinoa, hemp seeds, almonds, walnuts, peas, chia seeds and broccoli.
Avoid a calorie-restrictive diet. Too few calories will stress the body, which will produce more cortisol and trigger a fat-retention effect. Exercise. Regular exercise, four to five times a week, can naturally lower cortisol levels and maintain a healthy weight. Excessive exercise, however, can increase cortisol levels.
